I thank the Minister of State but, unfortunately, the information came in very late. We got the more detailed information requested after last week's meeting only a couple of hours ago. Can I confirm that the €16.7 million we are talking about now plus another €800,000 that was mentioned last week, which brings the figure to €17.5 million, is not for items that would be usual for a State visit by a Head of State in terms of gardaí deployed in front and behind the car and so on and that they relate, overwhelmingly, to the mass in Phoenix Park, event management and logistics relating to stewarding? Is that the case?
